In skeletal formulas, a bond drawn with as a solid wedge shows that the bond is pointing above the plane. A bond draw as a dashed wedge shows that the bond is pointing below the plane.
Models provide a three-dimensional representation of molecules, allowing for insights into their spatial arrangements, interactions, and conformational flexibility that structural formulas alone cannot convey. They help visualize stereochemistry, molecular dynamics, and the effects of intermolecular forces, which are crucial for understanding reactivity and properties. Additionally, models can simulate behaviors in various environments, offering predictions about how molecules might behave in real-world scenarios. This level of detail enhances our understanding of molecular function beyond what static structural formulas reveal.

Yes, PBr3 can invert stereochemistry during a reaction.
Yes, the compound SOCl2 has the ability to invert stereochemistry.
Structural formulas are used primarily for organic compounds for which molecular formulas correspond to more than one isomer, or for chemical discussions in which the shapes of molecules are important, such as crystallography.

Simplified structural formulas represent the arrangement of atoms in a molecule using lines to indicate bonds, often omitting hydrogen atoms and other less critical details for clarity. In contrast, full structural formulas provide a complete depiction of all atoms, including hydrogen and the precise connections between atoms, offering a more detailed view of the molecule's structure. This makes full structural formulas useful for understanding the molecule's geometry and reactivity, while simplified formulas are beneficial for quick visualization and communication.
